Abstract. Background:Classification of Acanthamoeba by genotype may serve as a guide in diagnosis and choice of medication in future. Purpose:To report genetic typing of Acanthamoeba isolated from a patient of Acanthamoeba keratitis. Case and Method:A 35-year-old female presented with hyperemia and pain in her left eye since 9 days before. She had been using soft contact lens once a week for 3 years. Culture of corneal scraping led to the diagnosis of Acanthamoeba keratitis. The obtained strain was amplified by PCR sequencing and was analyzed regarding genetic typing by comparison with data in GenBank. Results:Sequence analysis showed this Acanthamoeba as genotype T4 of 18SrDNA. Conclusion:Genetic typing of Acanthamoeba may be useful in the diagnosis and treatment as well as in identification of route of infection.
